Re: Caving in: "Too strict" teacher fired

We should all keep in mind that Leigh won't use emoticons, so it is
sometimes hard to tell when he is being serious or being sarcastic
(funny?).  I, for one, take many of his recent comments to be on the
sarcastic side and therefore not worthy of a response.  Here, however, I
think the "eh?" gives this one away.
